you can miss someone and still know life is better without them. you can think about them sometimes, remember the good moments, and still choose not to go back. missing them doesn't mean they were right for you, it just means they mattered at some point. and that's okay. healing isn't about forgetting everything, it's about understanding why it had to end. some people feel like home, but still bring you pain. some connections are strong, but not healthy. and no matter how much you care, you have to choose what gives you peace. so let yourself miss them, but don't chase them anymore.
